CLST - Classical Studies Major

Trinity’s Classical Studies Department – in collaboration with faculty from across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and arts divisions – offers a wide spectrum of courses that explore the world of classical antiquity and its modern legacy through the study of languages, literature and film, philosophy, political theory, visual art, history, architecture, and archaeology. This stimulating exposure to the breadth of the liberal arts prepares our majors well for life after college. A survey of alumni from the last 10 years indicates that they are successfully engaged in law, medicine, publishing, and education at both the secondary school and college levels, religion, business, social work, and journalism. Employers know: a student who completes a degree in Classical Studies has the intellectual ability, discipline, and breadth of interest to excel at anything.
